✨The Stone Sky✨ . “But for a society build on exploitation, there is no greater threat than having no one left to oppress.” . This is the third and final book in The Broken Earth series and follows a group of characters in an apocalyptic future as they try to simply survive until the next season. . About halfway through this book, I knew that this would be my favorite series and that I would do a journal spread commemorating it. The stakes were so high and I loved and cared about all of these characters and while a ton of world-building isn’t exactly something that interests me, the way Jemisin does it kept me hooked until the end. I have been on a journey trying to learn what I like in fantasy and am so thankful for this series existing and showing me what I enjoy. What I really appreciate about this series are all of the real-world themes Jemisin covers in this fantasy world. This story is very much about surviving but it also contains discussions of environmentalism, blood relations vs. found family, prejudices, and slavery and exploitation. There is SO MUCH going on and so much to think about and I’d really love to read the entire series again because this is one of those stories where I’m certain I’ll get something else out of it every time I read it again. I can’t recommend this series enough if you’re in the mood for a truly clever fantasy that takes a bit of work but is DEFINITELY worth it. .

N.K. Jemisin - The Stone Sky (2017) The conclusion to the glorious Broken Earth trilogy, a series so good that all of the entries actually won the Hugo Award for that year is a bittersweet conclusion to the story of Essun and Nassun and stone-eaters and weird shit. What Jemisin does so amazingly well here is creating a completely alien feeling world where some people have power over rocks, some people are made of rocks and eat rocks, there are floating obelisk computers and the moon is gone in what feels like a post apocalyptic earth, but if the apocalypse would happen thousands of years in the future. So it's an apocalypse where the old world is actually a far future civilization. However, it's also all about mothers and daughters, abusive relationships, love, racism, climate change, war, emancipatory movements and all the most "now" things there are. What is interesting is how well that social exploration is enmeshed with the completely alien world, so much so that you do find yourself going "ohhh this is about x!" while you are engrossed in the story. Jemisin's writing is also fantastic and even if it might seem weird or hard going at first, by this third volume you are completely into it, and the shifts from first to second to third person narration actually become useful in understanding who we are talking about at a certain moment. A fitting conclusion to what is a true masterpiece.
